Questionnaire
Use this checklist to reflect on symptoms, timing, and factors commonly discussed when people ask about Levitra (vardenafil). Answer honestly and note anything that concerns you.
- Have you experienced difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection on more than one occasion?
- Have these difficulties persisted for at least 4–8 weeks?
- Do erections improve sometimes (for example, during sleep or with certain partners) but not others?
- Have you noticed reduced firmness compared to previous months or years?
- Do stress, anxiety, or relationship concerns seem to trigger the problem?
- Have you been diagnosed with conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease?
- Do you smoke, vape, or use nicotine regularly?
- How often do you drink alcohol (more than moderate amounts per week)?
- Are you taking medications that may affect sexual function (e.g., antidepressants, blood pressure drugs)?
- Have you ever been advised to avoid nitrate medications or had chest pain with exertion?
- Do you experience side effects like headaches, flushing, or nasal congestion with similar medicines?
- Have you had pelvic surgery, prostate treatment, or significant genital injury?
- Is there a family history of cardiovascular disease at a young age?
- Have you tried lifestyle changes (sleep, exercise, weight management) without improvement?
- Do symptoms cause distress, avoidance of intimacy, or reduced quality of life?
How to interpret answers
This is a general guide—no single answer confirms or rules out a condition.
- Low reason to seek help: Occasional issues tied to temporary stress, fatigue, or alcohol; symptoms are infrequent and improving.
- Medium reason to seek help: Recurrent symptoms over several weeks, mixed triggers, or impact on confidence/relationships.
- High reason to seek help: Persistent symptoms, known cardiovascular risk factors, medication interactions, or significant distress.
Next steps: what to do

- Follow up: Reassess after any changes or treatment adjustments.
